If you skim the original essay, there are plenty of links (highlighted blue, they're quite easy to find) to articles that argue exactly #1 (pretty obvious by their titles).
Also, my (admittedly anecdotal) evidence of being bullied in school confirms this as well (and is echoed by many other geeks).
- maxerickson 11y agoYou think people get bullied because others think they are disgusting monsters? People get bullied because bullies are insecure too (which is not an apology for bullies, but they are acting out insecurity more than they are worried about how disgusting their targets are). I too fit the socially awkward bullied nerd stereotype...
- tomp 11y agoI don't care what others actually think, I care what words and stereotypes they use when bullying.
